But the city hasn’t taken action against embattled NYCHA Chair Shola Olatoye, whom de Blasio has defended.

A Department of Investigation probe in November found that Olatoye had falsely certified inspections for lead-paint hazards in roughly 55,000 apartments to the federal government.

De Blasio praised Kelly when he appointed him in March 2015.

“Michael Kelly’s track record of strengthening housing authorities across the country speaks for itself, and with his previous experience here at New York City’s Housing Authority, I know he will be ready to hit the ground running,” de Blasio said at the time.
